disc in, party on
Did you ever get the feeling you were born to lose
Smacked in the face with a silver spoon
Skinny doll gimme your magazine queen
Just spread your legs for the silver screen
Flashin' your stash ain't nothin' new
I'm gonna get ya my pretty and your little dog too
"Make me rich," your doctor said
"And if you ever break down i'll cut you up again."
On the bedroom wall the stars look bright
But they don't belong in the city a' light
Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!
Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!
Well well well what a wild wild dream
Monkey do, what a monkey scene
Daddy done bought you a record deal
Bargain basement boy how does it feel
From the bedroom baby to the city a' light
Look pretty good but you're not so bright
-- jet, rip it up
it's tuesday! and there's absolutely nothing to do. what a lovely day. woke up at 10 am with absolutely nothing to do. pottered about the house, fed my birds, cleaned the turtle, watered the neighbours' plants, and tidied up my room. contemplating going out later for lunch but since i am dirt poor i will probably end up spending the money on more necessary things (like a haircut) and petrol for chens 2.0. which reminds me! it's just about time to give him a good wash..
dawn's party on friday. met up with scfours and some ex mgs people. good stuff, okay cake. most memorable incident was the (final) christening of the blues band. i am now official blues bassist for ok gentlemen (it was between that and same same but different...). hopefully i get posted to sgh.
mixed league kicked off saturday. off to a slow start (literally) with lots of wheezing (mine) and sputtering (sarah's). saw joyce again! and manda, who is black and freaking thin from apparently doing nothing during freakshow training. yeah right.
liyana's party was nice. got to meet up with people i don't usually talk to eg fiona & hweeying. wenbo and his blowtorch made his creme brulee taste even better! even though the girls didn't really wanna eat it after they realised what, exactly, creme brulee is made of (hint: it's not fibre and vitamins.) hoho. liyana looked great and everybody had a wonderful time.
stani bbq with lots of meat and badly-cut vegs, and tom yam goong. which is probably the funniest martial arts movie i've seen in a long time. elephant as main love interest + baby elephant flying through glass doors + chinese-speaking metaphorically-earthworm-like trannies = win!
slow day today.. training's cancelled. hoo-rah. off to wash chens now. it's noon, i should be doing something productive by now.
(i just realised that my brother's still sleeping in his room. not a peep from him since i woke up at 10. hmm.)

plangere, latin: to strike, or to lament.
in the depth of winter i finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
